Lawn mower-Getaway

A US man was arrested after he held up a convenience store with a stick - then tried to make his getaway on a lawn mower.

 

Police say Ricky New, oh he's s~o new at the art of theft, of Aiken, South Carolina, has been charged with assault and armed robbery following the "stick up".

 

He is accused of walking into the Kent's Korner store where he ordered the clerks to "give me your **** money".

 

He began to hit one of the clerks with the stick so she threw her arm up to protect herself from the attack and was struck on the arm several times. (she's bruised but otherwise unharmed)

 

He received an undisclosed amount of money and fled the scene on his getaway vehicle - a Craftsman riding lawn mower.

 

Sheriff's deputies caught up with Wood, who had disguised his identity but putting a white tower over his head, a short time later.

 

And wow... Dude, he could've burnt his face off and dressed himself like a girl but he still would've gotten caught because what kind of moron drives a lawn mower as a getaway vehicle?

  • maybe he thought the mower got better gas mileage or something? :)
  • well....i give the guy props for trying..and actually thinking it might work. hahahaha(:
  • what was the purpose of the stick?...
  • I guess I just don't understand why he thought the lawn mower would be a good idea. Those are super slow.
  • That's pretty ridiculous. That guy must not be right in the head if he thinks he can get away in a lawn mower.
  • yikes.. that man is not too smart. robbing a convenience store in the first place isnt a good idea but then trying to get away on a lawn mower is just ridiculous. im thinkin he mightve been under the influence..
  • why would you try and get away on a lawn mower i mean seriously? This guy must've been in need of a vehicle bad.
  • ha i bet he got away on the high speed pursuit with that lawn mower ha
  • He probably should have planned this our better because a lawn mower is really pathetic
  • What is happening to this world! I much agree that our world is declining fairly fast. That is kind of a scary thought.
